Abstract: A vibratory treatment device has a motor driving an output shaft on which is mounted an eccentric weight to create vibration of the motor as the shaft rotates. A frame is connected to the motor to which frame said vibrations are transmitted through the connection of the frame to the motor. A pad surrounds the frame and into which said vibrations of the frame are transmitted. The pad is applied to the affected limb or limbs of the patient and activated to cause vibrations of the motor to be transmitted through the frame and pad into the tissue of the patent's limb or limbs. The treatment is continued for a therapeutically effective period of time and repeated periodically.

Abstract: A method of improving drug delivery to treat a condition comprises the steps of administering the drug to a patient suffering the condition and applying cycloid vibration to the region of the body where the drug is to be delivered. The vibration is applied for a period of 30 minutes three times per day until the condition is diminished. The cycloidal vibration comprises small amplitude, 0.1 and 0.5 mm, low frequency, 15 to 75 HZ, vibration producing motion in three different directions. The method is effective in the treatment of cellulitis where the drug administered is an antibiotic.
